I've just used yum update to install the newer packages of nvidia-glx
and kernel-module-nvidia-<kernel> and so far everything is working fine.
There is still no i686 version of nvidia-glx, only a i586 version, but
it is causing me no problems (and I'm running an i686 kernel and upgrade
over a i686 version of the driver). The problem was with the older
packages of the new driver, not with the i586 vs i686 issue.
I do wonder what the reason was for dropping the i686 packages was,
though.
